The El Camino High Band Council held a “Dance-A-Thon” on Saturday, April 2 to raise funds for the furnishings and equipment budget of the new El Camino Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC). The Dance-A-Thon was truly a marathon that started at 6:00 p.m. and ended at 11:00 p.m., and included music from the 1950s through current pop. This was an original idea of the Band Council members, who are a group of students elected by their peers to represent and govern the band program, conduct social events and fundraiser, and be a direct liaison to Band Director Kevin Glaser.
There was a great turn out of El Camino students and even some parents from El Camino. The Dance-A-Thon raised $600 that will be used specifically for the furnishings and equipment of the VPAC that will not be provided as part of the construction costs.
The El Camino Band Council challenges other campus clubs and community groups to also raise funds for the equipment and furnishings budget of the VPAC that is scheduled to open in the Spring of 2018.
Three cheers for the Band Council!

Drum roll please -- bass drum funded!
About two weeks ago we published a wish list of furnishings and equipment for El Camino's new performing arts center. This week, we are delighted to report a gift of $1,000 to fund our bass drum in honor of band alumnus Michael Slater, Class of 2011.
Please join us in thanking the Slater family for their generosity and commitment to the performing arts at El Camino High School.
